Following some initial backlash, FX's Love Story—the dramatized series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette—ultimately nailed it on the wardrobe front. Sarah Pidgeon, who stars as Bessette, cycles through an array of chic, minimalist looks that truly capture Bessette's iconic '90s style. But it was no plain black turtleneck or slip dress that caught my eye in episode five. Rather, it was a textured sweater that looked equal parts cozy and coastal cool.
Despite showing up in a rather tense scene of the couple talking about their future together, this oversized knit was the epitome of relaxed. So I was hardly surprised when I learned that the sweater in question was none other than J.Crew's classic Rollneck ($98), a 1988 design that has remained one of the brand's staple styles.
Crafted from 100 percent thick cotton, the preppy knit is certainly weighty enough to keep you warm in chilly temps. But it's also breathable enough for the hotter seasons (whether or not that includes a day of sailing off the coast of Hyannis Port).
